“St Luke, the historian
of the meekness of Christ.”
Dante Alighieri (c1265-1321)
“When, after abandoning the darkness of error
to bind himself to God’s love,
Paul was joined to the number of the disciples,
Luke went with him everywhere
and became his travelling companion … ” (Acts 16:10)
“It was this Evangelist who related
the mystery of Gabriel,
the messenger sent to the Virgin
to announce joy to the whole world.
It was he, who told in full,
the birth of Christ,
showing us the newborn child lying in a manger
and describing shepherds and Angels shouting for joy.”
“The harvest indeed is great
but the labourers are few.
Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest
that He send labourers into His harvest.”
Luke 10:2
“But in Luke, grace does not stop there.
His speech is not limited to serving the Gospel alone.
At the end of Christ’s miracles
he also relates the Acts of the Apostles. …
Luke was not just a spectator of all those things
but really participated in them.
And that is why he put so much care
into teaching us about them.”
